On the campaign trail and in his Senate office, Barack Obama already relied on policy director Karen Kornbluh, who has been called Obama’s brain, and has long championed parents who juggle jobs and family. (Check out Working Dad: New First Dad looks like he’ll be a good ally for morre details on Obama’s family-friendly agenda.)

Add those two women to Michelle Obama, who has stated a strong interest in championing working parents, particularly military families, and you already have a potent force.

Who is next? What does all this power mean? Will we see tangible changes thanks to this mini-movement in the new White House?
